Academic Music goals can also be addressed: (specifically following Standards 1 & 2 below through musical performance, drumming, and singing) "Standard 1: Creating, Performing, and Participating in the Arts Students will actively engage in the processes that constitute creation and performance in the arts (dance, music, theatre, and visual arts) and participate in various roles in the arts. Standard 2: Knowing and Using Arts Materials and Resources
Students will be knowledgeable about and make use of the materials and resources available for participation in the arts in various roles. Standard 3: Responding to and Analyzing Works of Art
Students will respond critically to a variety of works in the arts, connecting the individual work to other works and to other aspects of human endeavor and thought. Standard 4: Understanding the Cultural Contributions of the Arts
Students will develop an understanding of the personal and cultural forces that shape artistic communication and how the arts in turn shape the diverse cultures of past and present society." http://www.p12.nysed.gov/ciai/standards.html
Science Standards:
Standard 1; scientific literacy for intermediate age. http://www.p12.nysed.gov/ciai/mst/pub/mststa1_2.pdf

1. The central purpose of scientific inquiry is to develop explanations of natural phenomena in a continuing, creative process.
Students:
• formulate questions independently with the aid of references appropriate for guiding the search for explanations of everyday observations.
• construct explanations independently for natural phenomena, especially by proposing preliminary visual models of phenomena.
• represent, present, and defend their proposed explanations of everyday observations so that they can be understood and assessed by others.
• seek to clarify, to assess critically, and to reconcile with their own thinking the ideas presented by others, including peers, teachers, authors, and scientists.
2. Beyond the use of reasoning and consensus, scientific inquiry involves the testing of proposed explanations involving the use of conventional techniques and procedures and usually requiring
considerable ingenuity.
Standard 7: interdisciplinary problem solving http://www.p12.nysed.gov/ciai/mst/pub/mststa6_7.pdf
Retrieved February 16, 2012.
1. The knowledge and skills of mathematics, science, and technology are used together to make informed decisions and solve problems, especially those relating
to issues of science/technology/society, consumer decision making, design, and inquiry into phenomena.
2. Solving interdisciplinary problems involves a variety of skills and strategies, including effective work habits; gathering and processing information; generating and analyzing ideas; realizing ideas;
making connections among the common themes of mathematics, science, and technology; and presenting results.

1.2b Stars form when gravity causes clouds of molecules to contract until nuclear fusion
of light elements into heavier ones occurs. Fusion releases great amounts of energy over
millions of years.
• The stars differ from each other in size, temperature, and age.
• Our Sun is a medium-sized star within a spiral galaxy of stars known as the Milky
Way. Our galaxy contains billions of stars, and the universe contains billions of such
galaxies.
